Kul Tiran Preview - Battle for Azeroth Allied RacesKul Tiras was founded 3,000 years ago when a group of Gilneans left the empire to explore the Great Sea. They came upon a mountainous region rich in resources and decided to settle in. Over the course of the next 2,500 years they built one of the most powerful navies on Azeroth. These humans are much more burly than the mainlanders because of their time spent on the sea hunting monsters. The Alliance will be bringing them into their ranks as an Allied Race.

I wonder if we'll be able to choose bodytypes the same way orcs can choose postures? We do see plenty of Kul Tirans with the normal human bodytype after all.

Honestly, I'd consider it pretty silly if we didn't have that option, and the more their full development gets delayed, the more hope I have on this front. There is something slowing Kul Tirans from becoming a complete picture developmentally right now, and I can't help but feel like "body variety" could be the big selling point of this race (for non-druids anyway). I don't expect the skinny body, but I think the standard human frame as a toggle is still something we could see, because I have yet to see a large gathering of Kul Tirans in beta where they are all the same size. The existing customization options feel incomplete enough to be "half the picture," (two male faces?) and a beta or even later 8.1 PTR patch including "surprise the body size is an option" doesn't feel crazy.

...and if MMO C doesn't post it, but another website does - people would complain how MMO C sucks and are slow....

Win / win for people who like to complain, no matter what....

I was mostly joking, but I'm not sure who would complain about MMO-Champion being "slow" if another site did it first, there's hardly any information yet. I don't think anybody would have blamed them for waiting to do a preview later if another site did it first.

People who criticise the largeness of the Kul Tirans are people I'm assuming are not on beta. They're HUGE all over, and look far more proportionate when you're actually looking at them in game and not just on 2d pictures on a website. They're like, 7 feet tall. They are probably impractically tall. I hope Blizz have designed them to fit through doorways properly!

KT regular sized humans with the large KT human hairstyles etc would be nice, otherwise they're just humans that can be druids. Admittedly really awesome druids, and no doubt most KTs are going to end up being druids, the same way most lightforged dranei are paladins.

I don't know if we'll get the skinny KTs - there are only male versions of those so far and they're so clearly just reskinned forsaken females.
